AVI file giving Audio/Video file has no streams

I try to import into CS5 Premiere Pro and it gives me the error. I am running on a Mac and the file works in VLC. It's pretty frustrating not to see the video except in the VLC player.

Welcome to the forum.
Playing a file is separate from editing that same file - totally different. Playability can contribute some info, but can also instill a false sense of security. Players, like VLC, are very good for playing, as they contain about everything needed, right in the player. They do not rely on the installed CODEC's in the system, so being able to edit that same file, may well prove impossible, as the NLE program will have to rely on the installed system CODEC's. Also, even if one has the particular, necessary CODEC installed, it does not mean that the NLE program can actually use it. This ARTICLE will give you a bit more background.
As Harm mentions, it is likely an issue with at least one stream of the file and the CODEC that is needed to decode it. If you have a muxed file (both Audio and Video streams) you need two CODEC's - one for each stream. Next, they BOTH must work in PrPro. It is likely that you are either missing, one or both, or that PrPro cannot use one, or both. VLC Player doesn't need them from the system, as it obviously contains them internally. MediaPlayer Classic HC, and some others are good this way - they play almost everything. However, they do not insure that one has the CODEC installed and that it will work in the NLE. Great for playing, but not so good for insuring that that same file will edit properly.
Good luck, and let us know what is inside that AVI file. This ARTICLE will give you some background on "AVI," and what can be inside that "wrapper."

  • .AVI file has white screen but does have sound...

    I have an .AVI file someone sent me which by using QT Pro shows just a white screen but does have audio.
    I have Perian installed and it didn't help with the white screen. I have opened it fine in VLC player, and a couple of other media players but my issue is that I want to import the AVI file into iMovie so I can make it into a DVD. However, if I import it into iMovie, it will be the same white screen with audio.
    I have searched the web far and wide to find a solution and most are saying it could be only viewable in QT on a PC of all things.
    Is there any components out there which will help me with this problem? Any other suggestions?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    RB

    But when I selected the problematic AVI file it too appeared with a white screen w/sound in MPEG Streamclip. So I realized it wouldn't help me either.
    A white screen usually means the selected video codec is not compatible with the actual file. Normally, I would run a conflict test. Based on your previous posts regarding the compression formats in use and the video codec attempting to perform video playback, my first guess would be that the Perian component is trying to decode a DivX (possibly v5) file. I would probably either temporarily remove the Perian component and see if the AVI file plays or remove and then replace the DivX component (if the latest one is already installed) and see if this changes the component access order so DivX is called for video playback. If you have an older DivX component installed, there may be a conflict issue. (Remember to close QT while removing/replacing components so the list will be re-initialized before making a playback test.) If all else fails, try posting a sample file so we can see if the problem can be duplicated on other systems/configurations.

  • Encore adds random static (Popping and Crackling) to audio from AVI files

    We spend the whole day today trying to debug this problem... any help would be greatly appreciated.
    We have a large conversion project where we are capturing VHS videos and converting them to DVD.
    For those that require chapters, we are using Encore CS4.
    All of the videos were captured the same way, in an AVI format.
    We have found that when we load them into an Encore CS4 timeline, we will hear random static sounds -- pops in the audio.
    We believe the AVI file is clean.  We can watch the video in Windows Media Player, and the audio is fine.  We can burn the AVI file to a DVD video using another low-end package (Power Director) and the DVD is fine.  The AVI files have been run on other systems, and the audio crackling sound does not present itself.
    But when we try to use Encore, some of the files exhibit the crackling sound.  (Note that not all of the files have this problem.  But those that do exhibit the problems will exhibit them every time.)
    We tried loading them into Premier -- same thing.
    So, this problem seems to be limited to Adobe tools.
    We are running Windows 7 on an Intel i7, ATI Radeon card... a really fast, strong, stable system.
    At this point we're not sure what to try...
    We have attempted to pre-encode them using Adobe Media Encoder.  Same results, regardless of which audio settings we try.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Help getting AVI files into PE12

    I have AVI videos from some cheap Hitachi HD cameras which won't load in PE12. The files load as just audio, but play back fine on the computer.
    I've read the various threads on similar issues but haven't found a good work around yet.
    GSpot shows the codec as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
    I have tried using FFMpeg to rewrap the files as mp4 as shown in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854115 , but I just get an unsupported codec error when I import the mp4s.
    I've found that installing k-lite codec pack lets the video play, but the playback goes jerky after a few seconds.
    I copied the reports from GSpot and MediaInfo. I really want to find a way to get these working without doing full conversions of all the files each time, since this has damaged the quality in the past. If conversion is the only option, can anyone suggest exactly how to convert these files without losing any quality?
    Many thanks to anyone who can help.

    EHogger,
    As has been pointed out, the H.264 AVCHD CODEC, inside the AVI wrapper is non-standard, but some camera mfgrs. insist on doing that. The problem is that Premiere (either flavor) is not coded to look for H.264 inside an AVI. While AVI can contain a lot of different CODEC's, having H.264 inside is not what most programs expect.
    Hope that Neale's suggetion works for you.
    As far as editing ANY H.264 material, the main apect of a computer, that will come into play is the CPU. An underpowered computer will have issues playing it smoothly, as it takes a lot of CPU cycles to work with that material, under good circumstances. In the provided information, I did not see the specs. of your computer, but if the CPU is less than a very fast i5, playback performance may weill suffer.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • AVI file the film is white and no sound.

    I am wondering why a Final Cut Pro file converted to a avi file in MPEG Stream Clip 1.9.1 when opened in QT will not play ilm or audio. It appears as white clip with no sound. Yet if I open the same avi file in DivX player the film and audio plays fine. The only problem is I have not been able to find a way to export the file playing in Dvix player as either Dvix file or .avi file. I read discussions complaining that there is a compatibility issue with QT 7.4.5 and playing avi files(white screen and no sound). I saw a few people mention a open source program that claimed to be the swiss army knife solution. But, discussion about their open source program also had a lot complaints. The whole purpose of the avi files is to play video in a 3-D Studio Max environment.
    My options seem to be either trash QT 7.4.5 and download a earlier version of QT. Will this work? And if so what QT version? Or find another codec file source that will convert smoothly from Final Cut Pro to a 3-D Studio Max environment. I visited the components link at Apples website. But, a lot of the programs would not download successfully TO MY I-MAC 3.06. I really hope you have an easy solution because I need to be converting my FCP QT.mov files to a small file size for 3-D Studio Max. I must be able to preview successfully before I upload to my partner who is building with 3-D Studio Max. I hope someone has the right answers and links for me to download a solution that works.

    If you "trash" 7.4.5 (which is not the current version, 7.5 is) you will wreck Quicktime for good. You cannot remove QT as it is a component of the operating system.
    Go to the quicktime folder and drag all the cruft which I am certain you have other than Apple codecs, Flip4mac and Perian 1.1 (the open source component).
    That means all XVid, DivX, 3ivX AC52, drag them all to the desktop and restart.

  • How do I get the Codec for Adobe Premiere 6.5?   I have old AVI files I need to edit in a Premiere Elements 9 program.

    I have older AVI files from Premier 6.5.  I need to edit them in Elements 9, how do I get that old codec? 

    Thank you for your response.  When I said I had tried Camtasia, I meant that I had tried to import the files into Camtasia.  However, Camtasia,  like Premier Elements, will NOT allow me to import these older Matrox AVI files into their editing programs.  These older Matrox AVI files will playback fine in a program I downloaded called "GomPlayer",   Today I discovered that GomPlayer allows me to view the properties of the clip, and they are pasted below.  Hopefully, with this newer info, it will help me with my capture sistuation.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Some avi-files not playing on QuickTime Pro 7.0.4

    I tried to play a few avi-file movies using QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 on my Mac OS X 10.4.4, but unfortunately, I keep getting the message: "Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web site." After going on that site, I downloaded some of the available free software, but the problem remains. Playing the movies with a third-application like the VLC, works fine. I wish QuickTime Pro would have the same capabilities in playing avi files like other Players. Do you have an idea how I can solve the problem?
    Thanks for your support!

    Thanks for all your help guys. I guess I will remain with the VLC for playing AVI files that donnot play on the QT Player as the VLC plays almost any movie file. I came across an interesting article regarding the subject:
    QuickTime: About Playing .AVI Files
    Learn why an .AVI file may not play as expected in QuickTime Player.
    AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. The .AVI format is what is known as a container format. It specifies a way in which a file may contain audio and video data. It does not specify how that data is encoded. The encoding of audio and video data is specified in what are known as codecs. A codec (short for COmpressor/DECompressor) tells the computer how to decode the audio and video tracks that have been encoded within the .AVI file. QuickTime Player can use numerous codecs by default. You can also add additional codecs to extend QuickTime's features using plug-ins or third-party installations.
    When QuickTime opens an .AVI file, it checks to see which codecs were used to encode the audio and video tracks within it. For example, an .AVI file may contain a video track encoded in the Cinepak codec and an audio track encoded with the ALaw 2:1 codec. If both the audio and the video were compressed using a codec that QuickTime can use, the file will play normally. If the audio or video or both were created using codecs that QuickTime cannot use, you may see a message like the following:
    "QuickTime is missing the software needed to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the QuickTime server"
    or
    "You may experience problems playing a video track in "filename.avi" because the required compressor could not be found."
    These messages are not an indication that anything is wrong with QuickTime Player.
    Lists of audio and video codecs included with and supported by QuickTime are available from the QuickTime specifications page.
    Using QuickTime Player, you may be able to determine which codec was used to compress an audio or video track:
    QuickTime 6 and earlier
    Open the file in QuickTime Player.
    From the Movie menu, choose Get Movie Properties.
    From the left pop-up menu in the Properties window, choose Sound Track or Video Track.
    From the right pop-up menu, choose Format. The Format section shows the codec.
    QuickTime 7
    Open the file in QuickTime Player.
    From the Window menu, choose Show Movie Info. The codec is listed next to Format.
    If the .AVI file is encoded using a codec that is not included with QuickTime, you might be able to find and add that codec so QuickTime can play media encoded with it. Contact the party that publishes or distributes the codec to see if a QuickTime version is available. Many third-party QuickTime components are available on the QuickTime components page.

  • CS4 Windows problems: crash very often, stuck when import certain avi files

    The followling problems are in CS4 (newer updated) Windows (Windows XP SP3):
    I am using Premiere Pro in CS4 and the program crashes so often (it crashes more than 10 times in one afternoon). It usually starts when I place clip, photoshop file, or other assets to sequence. If it starts leave a lot of frames while I pull the asset (there will be the same frame over the path my mouse went), it is a signal to crash soon. After it restarts, it usually loses the last saved information (even I saved the project way before it crashes). I do not know whether other users see the similar behavior.
    The second problem does not look like only for CS4. It happens in CS3 too. When I place an AVI file (not sure whether other format behaves the same), the import program will stuck in the end (while it shows "generate peaks from xxx.avi"). It will take forever and I never successfully finish importing the file. I worked around and realized it only happens to the avi files I captured from Movie maker (use Auto capture option). The avi file can be played in Windows Media player. If I use Movie maker to cut the end of the avi file, the new avi file can be imported to Premiere without any problem. It seems the last few frames in the captured avi file has problem so the import subfunction will stuck there. I am not sure whether this is the case. If it is, the program should be "SMART" enough to go on or ignore the bad frames.
    Any idea?

    Thanks, Harm. This brings to another problem I had. While I am using PR to capture DV from my two mini-DV cameras, sometimes it just generates a lot flicks or "snow" in the avi files. But with Movie Maker, the same tape will not have such problem. This is why I am using Movie maker to capture the movie since it is accessible beside PR. It seems the PR problem is only for the last few frames so I just cut the last few frames off. I do not know why PR cannot just generate an Error message to UI so we will not just wait there for hours. I did some programming to control many instruments and I understand I cannot project every problem the program will encount, but at least I can generate an error message to tell the user where the problem is. Is this the fundmental guideline for programmers? If PR does like the format, let us know when it reads. It is very frustrated while you wait there hours and hours without any idea why it stucks!

  • AVI Files for iDVD ((QUESTION))

    Hello,
    I took some digital video on my new digial camera.
    The video files are AVI. I am able to play them via quicktime on my mac mini with no problem.
    The issue I am having is when I want to burn the files into iDVD.. I get error messages. I can import the files fine.. Its just wen I get to the rendering phase I get an error.
    Do I need to convert the AVI files to .MOV? What must I do?
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    D.

    Not all .AVI files us the same CODECs (AVI is really just a file 'wrapper') and I've have very mixed results using AVI files directly.
    I use ffmpegX at http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ to convert my AVI files to DV Stream for use in iMovie/iDVD.

  • Probleme reading avi files

    Hello,
    I had adobe premiere element 9 working perfectly on seven and I was able to import avie file. But my laptop crash and I had to reinstall seven and all my software and premiere .
    And now I can't import avi file I got the following error
    The type of file is not supported or the required codec is not install
    I don't know why I got this error now and not before because I didn't install any codec when it was working!!
    Help please!!

    Well, an AVI file can contain almost anything. It is very likely that this particular AVI file has something odd inside it.
    This ARTICLE will go into more detail, and tell you how to peek inside to see what's contained within.
    Good luck, and please let us know all about that AVI file.

  • AVI files in Adobe Premiere? (can't import)

    Hi,
    I've just tried to import a bunch if .avi files into Adobe Premiere (OSX) but they all failed due to missing codec. Is there a way around this? I've looked at some other threads but don't understand it all and i'm on a bit of a deadline.
    I've currently installing it on my windows box as i know OSX doesn't play nice with avi anyway, is it likely to work?
    The avi files have multiple streams -2 camera angles are recorded, when they are loaded  both show and play in sync so i'm worrying about converting to another format.
    Thanks

    What is the source of those files?

  • Avi file from PC user has audio but not video

    When I play a .AVI file from a PC user through Quicktime pro, I am getting no video, but can hear the file fine.
    Any ideas what may be wrong?
    Playing it on a PC gives full video & audio
    Cheers
    Justin

    Using VLC is about as simple as it gets and if that will not play the avi they are encoded in a very rare codec. One last thing you can do is open the avi in QT Player and open MovieInfo in the Window menu. If it says they are encoded with an Indeo codec then there is no way to play them in OS X. There are Indeo codecs for the Classic environment but none for OS X. Indeo codecs for Classic

  • Audio, no video with .avi file

    We have cameras on our buses in which we can save the video to a PC as an .avi video file. (hardware only works on a PC). So now I have a .avi file that we would like to view on our Macs. No matter what program I try, the movie has sound, but no video.
    +According to MediaInfoMac,+
    +Video Codecs Used: WaveCodec+
    +Audio Codecs Used: PCM+
    +File Format: AVI+
    +Encoded with: MEncoder 1.0pre5-3.3.5+
    +Encoding Library: MPlayer+
    +another program mentioned ADV1+
    I have
    * tried both Leopard and Snow Leopard machines
    * Quicktime Pro
    * Perian (made sure the DiVx was unistalled, repaired permission, restarted etc)
    * tried the latest VLN
    I don't mind purchasing a program, but I want to make sure it will work. This is an important program to us and we need it to work.
    Has anyone run across this type of file?

    There is no Mac codec for that video format. Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 on the PC.
